Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Mark the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing — looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!

I was sitting in traffic on my way back to work – one hand thrown carelessly over the front passenger chair and the other propped up behind my head. Up ahead there was a boy, of about 15 years of age – small, thin, brown with short curly, blackish looking hair. A small pair of glasses rested on his nose. He had some papers in his hand. He would look down at them, then back up towards the line of cars waiting for a green light. He raised his head a bit too much, out of habit obviously, and looked down through his glasses. He looked so out of place among the thugs that usually line the streets. He looked…innocent.

And that’s the thing I have with geeks – they’re really good at appearing innocent. And in a good number of cases – they are. They appear so unassuming, so trusting, and so curious. I guess that’s what makes them geeks, their curiosity that drives them to learn about so many things.

As I looked at that boy, I couldn’t help but think: “Oh yea, I use to be like that…when I was 9.”

I like geeks, (the hardcore ones I like from a distance).

Geeks present a different type of person – people who are able to look beyond the surface of the world….and isn’t that one of the most important things in life?

You ever had an “Awww!” moment? When you see something that’s just so sweet – and there’s a stir in your heart, and a few tears may threaten your eyes? I do – quite often actually. 🙂 My dad says I need to get over it – lq. Never!

“Awww” moments remind me that I’m just human, that I have all range of feelings, that there are some things in life that make me so happy. They remind me that there’s more to life then the rat race – there’s love in all forms.

Here’s five things that stir my heart:

1. My puppy-dog’s expression when I’m eating and she wants some (I’ll try to remember to post a pic of her later. And No Shin! She is not a lamb!).

2. My Brother when he actually doing something anti-annoying – something cute. Said action usually happens right before he asks for something he know’s he shouldn’t have. Example:

Bro – “Mom…I love you”, he hugs mom and kisses her forehead.
Mom – “I love you too.”
– Two Minutes of Silence as he watches TV with Mom –
Bro – Doesn’t look away from the TV. “Can I have some candy?”

3. My Snuckum Pie when he does something extra sweet. He made a mini-movie for me the other day. Sometimes we record parts of our date, and he shocked me quiet when he put together a few clips, some slow music in the background and some really sweet words. I loved it, and I love him.

4. My mom when she looks like a little kid – with a bow in her hair and dark curls flowing down her back, and this innocent look on her face.

5. People with mental and physical disabilities. I can’t explain this correctly – all I know is when I get around such people I just want to gather them up in my arms and protect them from the world. I want to give them all my love.
